Fusion, AMD says, is the ?working philosophy that marries innovation with collaboration?, which is PR blather for ?AMD is going to work with other people?.
But to go along with the ginormous ad campaign and PR hype, AMD obviously felt it should have something to show for all this ?fusion? business. And that would be an app in the form of an on screen button.
Making a whooshing sound when clicked, the button ? AMD?s Fusion for Gaming Utility - shuts down background apps so Vista users can play games faster. Yep. That?s it. No big CPU/GPU design after all, just a glorified ?standby mode? button.
In what could just as well have been called ?overclocking for dummies? ? AMD prefers the term ?overclocking on demand? ? the firm has basically created something which freezes background apps like skype, while you play Chrysis. Wow. We have seen the fusion future, and it is dull.
